Abstract: A cabling machine comprises several cabling stations (2) each of which comprises a spindle (3), a thread combining means (7) which is disposed thereabove on a horizontal support arm (8), a delivery device (20) disposed thereabove, and above the delivery device a take-up device (22, 23). The support arm (8) can be pivoted about a vertical pivot axis (S). On the support arm (8) in extension of the spindle axis (A) are disposed a first guide roller (13), offset in a direction towards the longitudinal center plane (M) of the machine a second guide roller (14), between these two the thread monitor (15) and a thread cutter (16), and a third guide roller (18). The delivery device (20) is offset from the spindle axis (A) towards the longitudinal center plane (M) of the machine.

Abstract: A bobbin holder (1) having a pivotally mounted bobbin frame (2) is provided at its two support arms (3a, 3b) with a respective freely rotatably mounted tube plate member, of which one plate member (7) has a centering projection (10) for receiving the bobbin tube (5), has axially therebeside at least one thread catch means (12) and has a mounting projection (11) which concentrically surrounds a mounting pin portion (18) and which projects towards the support arm (3a). Over a part of its axial length, the mounting projection (11) is concentrically surrounded by a sleeve-like portion (15) provided on the support arm. In its region which is not surrounded by the sleeve-like portion (15), the mounting projection (11) is provided with a peripheral groove (16) for winding up an overhanging free thread end portion (FE) which is not engaged by the catch means (12, 13, 14).
